We have the sad news to share that 46 workers were rounded up this morning from their worksites and homes by ICE in conjunction with the local police force in Annapolis. We are calling together an emergency rally tomorrow morning to protest the break-up of our families and call for an end to these half-measures to enforce immigration law.

Please let me know if we can count on you for tomorrow’s event! (and spread the word please!)

As folks have probably heard, a raid on the worksite and homes of employees of the Annapolis Painting Services picked up 45 workers early this morning. We are still developing information and interviewing family members to have all the information, but wanted everyone in the broader NCIC community to know that we will have a rally outside of ICE in Baltimore tomorrow at 10:30 am at Hopkins Plaza, Fallon Federal Building, 31 Hopkins Plaza, Baltimore, MD 21201

We would really love to have as many people join us as possible. In little Postsville, Iowa, 500 people gathered for a rally after the notorious raid their earlier this Spring. We hope to have at least that many people tomorrow. A bus and carpools will be leaving CASA’s Silver Spring offices tomorrow morning at 9:00 am (734 E. University Blvd., Silver Spring, MD 20903) and another bus will be leaving from a TBD location in Annapolis. Please join us to defend these families and the value of immigrants in general.

Sincerely,
Alexis De Simone
